Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama has called on politicians to stop attacking the office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over its efforts in taming graft in the country.
Speaking on Sunday at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Nakuru West during a fundraiser ceremony, Arama said the war on graft should not be politicised.
The legislator noted that individuals alleged to have been involved in graft should carry their own cross instead of dragging their entire community into their woes.
The vocal MP condemned leaders who have been accusing the DCI of targeting certain individuals in the anti-graft war, adding that Kenya must move forward with or without some political elements.
“If one is found corrupt, it is that individual not the whole community. If I am corrupt, it is me Arama not my entire community. So let us stop politicising the fight on corruption by attacking the DCI,” said Arama.
Arama said he fully supports the fight against corruption which is being spearheaded by President Uhuru Kenyatta, adding that public money meant for development has been looted and should be returned.
The function was also attended by several politicians from Nakuru Town West among them UGM Party Coordinator Nakuru branch Mr Eric Ogada, Dr Gisoe Ochoki and Mr Hezron Okiki. Ms Grace Karuga who vied for the Nakuru Woman Rep seat on a KANU ticket also graced the occasion.
